DADA


IDI AMIN was a dictator in the African nation of Uganda when I was a small child. He was responsible for the violent deaths of millions of people. I was scared he was going to come and get me when I was little-one of the drawbacks of being an advanced reader was that I read anything that was left around the house even when it was inappropriate for my young eyes....

Amin's son is now trying to redeem his father's name.

This man was so crazy I could not help but laugh at some of the following:

* He liked to be called BIG DADDY
* He once wrote to Queen Elizabeth with the words "Hey Liz, Come over and see what a REAL MAN looks like!!"

In a world which portrays George Bush as more evil than Saddam Hussein, who doubts that millions of Jews were killed under Nazism (sorry....who were killed AT THE HANDS OF THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT) I guess even BIG DADDY will be soon portrayed as misunderstood...

Make sure you check out my link at the bottom of the page to WATOTO, a welfare organisation helping the hundreds of thousands of Ugandan children left without parents by the ravages of warfare and the AIDS epidemic...

We support WATOTO--you definitely should too....
